WEBVTT - Steve Schmidt: This Will Turn Catastrophic 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.440 There have always been liars and liars lie, But how 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.800 has line changed in the United States of America over 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.680 the last quarter century. Let's find out. I'm Steve Schmidt, 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:17.480 this is the warning. Let's listen to Stephen Miller calling 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:18.760 in to Fox News. 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.040 I guess I'll just go back full circle and say 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:26.440 that I'm Minnesota. Right now, the insurrectionists have come out 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:30.520 of hiding. They're confronting our officers on the street. They're 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:35.080 They're being arrested. This is a national security priority. More 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.520 arrests the insurrectionists are being made every day, and each 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.960 of those are rests. That provides an opportunity to learn 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.680 more about the network from a law enforcement and national 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:48.680 security standpoint. 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.879 Let's go back a bit further to the era of 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.040 the new type of lines, very very beginning. No, not 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.680 that picture of Sean Spicer and his yellow can shirt, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.680 the one from behind the podium. 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.320 Is it your intention to always tell the truth from 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.840 that podium and we pledge never to knowingly say something 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.800 that is not factual. It is it's an honor to 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.800 do this. And yes, I believe that we have to 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.720 be honest with the American people. I think sometimes we 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.440 can disagree with the facts. There are certain things that 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.000 we may miss, we may not fully understand when we 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.200 come out. But our intention is never to lie to you, Jonathan. 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.600 Our job is to make sure that sometimes and you're 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.640 in the same boat. I mean, there are times when 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.880 you guys tweet something out or write a story and 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.600 you publish a correction. That doesn't mean that you were 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.480 intentionally trying to deceive readers of the American people, does it? 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.800 And I think we should be afforded the same opportunity. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.520 There are times when we believe something to be true, 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.200 or we get something from an agency, or we act 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.840 in haste because the information available wasn't complete, But are 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.000 a desired to communicate with the American people and make 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.320 sure that you have the most complete story at the time, 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.840 And so we do it. But again, I think that 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.200 when you look net net, we we're going to do 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.200 our best every time we can. I'm gonna come out 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:09.960 here and tell you the facts as I know, and 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.880 if we make a mistake, I'll do our best to 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:12.320 correct it. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.800 Do you stand Byer's things? That was the most watched 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.520 inaugural aggressively? 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.839 Sure, it was the most watched inaugural when you look 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.720 at look, you look at just the one network alone 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.239 got sixteen point nine million people online. Another couple of 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.080 the networks, there were tens of million people that watched 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.799 that online. Never mind the audience it was here. Thirty 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.880 one million people watched it on television. Combine that with 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.440 the tens of millions of people that watched it online 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.040 on a device, it's unquestionable. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:45.919 Remember, the podiums are adorned with something different today, Nazi slogans. 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.040 But that's a video for another day. The liars, they 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.440 are emboldened, Carol and Levitt. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.560 Earlier, you were just defending ICE agents generally un Earlier 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.880 on in Secretary Notton spoke to the media and she said, 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.160 among other things, that they are doing everything correctly. Thirty 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.600 two people died in Nice custody last year, one hundred 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.640 and seventy US citizens were detained by ICE and Renee 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.760 Good was shot in the head and killed by an ization. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.800 How does that equate to them doing everything correctly? 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.960 Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.440 Ah, you're asking me my opinion because a night shaped 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.480 endacted recklessly and killed the un justified. 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.000 Well, okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:29.640 wing opinion? 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:30.440 What do you want me to do? 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.480 Yeah, because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.839 You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.440 so clear by the premise of your question, and you 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.320 and the people in the media who have such biases 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.600 but fake like you're a journalist. You shouldn't even be 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.720 sitting in that seat. But you're pretending that you're a journalist. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.000 But you're a left wing activist. And the question that 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.120 you just raised and your answer proves your bias. You 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.920 should be reporting on the facts. You should re reporting 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.080 on the cases. Do you have the numbers of how 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.600 many American citizens were killed at the hands of illegal 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.960 aliens who ICE is trying to remove from this country? 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.040 Christina Secretary Nome, Are you okay with federal agents and 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:11.480 officers violating people's Fourth Amendment rights by asking for papers 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.640 without reasonable suspicions? 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.080 Every single action that our ICE officers take is according 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.440 to the law and following protocols that we have used 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.960 for years that this administration has used, that the previous 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.479 administration used. They are doing everything correctly and over and 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.760 over again in litigation in the courts, we've proven that 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.000 they've done the right. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.000 Tom Homan, but when you cross the line, and we've 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.600 proven it, if you interfere in pete or something life officer, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.599 you will be prosecuted. And one thing I'm pushing for 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.560 right now, Laura, We're going to create a database those 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.599 people that are arrested for interference impediment. So we're going 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.839 to make them famous. We're going to put their face 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.000 on TV. We're going to let their employers in their 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.200 neighborhoods and their schools know who these people are because, 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.240 as you said, a lot of these people they say 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.800 they're taking time off work to protest. I bet you're 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.880 La Marcolin and said, I bet a lot of other 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.440 employers don't know what they're doing. But we're gonna make 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.520 sure everybody knows who they are. We're going to broadcast 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.200 they might to broadcast the ice officer that was nearly 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.039 killed all over the internet. We're going to broadcast every 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.480 one of these people we arrest. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.839 Greg Favena, is the mission being stopped because you guys 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:22.479 are showing so much patience, You're showing so much restraint. 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.520 We showed video just last. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.159 Night of a woman bum rushing you ay hitting you. 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.679 How do you do your job under. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:35.919 These circumstances, Jesse, The mission is not going to stop, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:40.440 and it hasn't stopped. We've got thousands of agents in 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:46.599 the largest Department of Homeland Security mission ever conducted, thousands 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.279 of agents here in Minneapolis and across Minnesota conducting this mission, 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.359 so it's not stopping. And that professionalism is on display 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:58.000 every day. I'll tell you, I am absolutely amazed at 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.400 the restraint and the professionalism that ICE Border Patrol and 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.640 all those allied law enforcement agencies provide every single day, 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:12.560 especially in the face of hundreds of violent agitators, violent mobs, rioters, 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.360 you name it. Those agents are subject to that every day. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.840 It's almost like a running battle for a ten or 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.960 twelve hour shift, a running battle all shift long. And 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.239 hats off to the Ice in Bord Patrol Agence. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.560 Do you remember what lying used to be? It was this. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.440 But I want to say one thing to the American people. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:36.960 I want you to listen to me. I'm going to 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:42.359 say this again. I did not have sexual relations with 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.440 that woman, miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:53.080 not a single time never. These allegations are false, and 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.760 I need to go back to work for the American people. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:56.440 Thank you. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.440 I did not have sexual relationship with that woman. Back then, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.599 politicians told lies because the resume wasn't good enough, not 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.840 for us, but for them. They just needed to make 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.200 it a little bit better. Graduating second in your class 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.160 at Harvard isn't good enough for an American politician in 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.480 the main, they got to be the valedictorian, as if 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:25.640 it matters to normal people. But politics has always been 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.840 like that until a new type of lying emerged. And 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.520 here is where we must focus, because here is where 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:41.880 the danger comes. Adolph Hitler understood lying. Joseph Goebbels understood lying. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:47.640 And their great insight was that the more fantastical the lie, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:53.880 the easier it was to be believed. And thus they lied, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.200 and they lied, and they lied, and the lies grew. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:04.600 And today an incredible percentage of the American people can't 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.680 tell up from down, left from right, a blue sky 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.160 from a magical red one. And that is a crisis. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.240 And it's the type of crisis that has gone on 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.400 for far too long. It's the type of crisis that 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.200 when you look back at history, always, and I mean always, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.120 moves from crisis to catastrophe. And that is the warning. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.160 And I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.640 you to join this community where I promise to be honest, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.520 blunt and direct about what is happening in this country. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:45.120 America is in crisis.
